Many people suppose that feminism today is a continuation of the reform movement of the past. They occasionally notice a ranting Bella Abzug or an icy Gloria Steinem but imagine them to be merely the froth of extremism on an otherwise sensible movement. That is not the case; the extremists are the movement.[1]
These radical feminist organizations promise equality for women, but in truth they are more interested in promoting a socialist/Marxist agenda which includes abortion and contraception on demand, hatred for the traditional family, and particularly venomous hatred for the Catholic Church and her moral teachings. Tammy Bruce, former president of the Los Angeles chapter of N.O.W. writes that NOW’s leaders have “become apologists for a president [Clinton] who sexually harassed an underling,”[2] and have overlooked Clinton’s behavior because, in the words of the radical feminists themselves, he “has been so good on all our issues” (particularly abortion on demand).
David Reardon, in an article entitled “The Seduction of Feminism,” writes that women’s rights groups years ago had an entirely different orientation. Some of these groups condemned artificial contraceptive methods as "unnatural, injurious, and offensive" to women [Linda Gordon, Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America (New York: Grossman, 1976), 97]. They also believed that contraceptives would reduce women to a role of being sexual objects for their mates [Ibid., 98], and that contraceptives would turn wives into little more than prostitutes, always "safe" for husbands to exploit to satisfy their passions [ibid., 117]. David Reardon also writes:
Widespread contraceptive use … would also encourage promiscuity, thus undermining their call for mutual chastity. They particularly feared that the availability of contraceptives would lure even more husbands and sons who were presently chaste into illicit sexual exploits, exposing even more young women to seduction, abuse, and abandonment. [ibid., 98]
Feminism's founding mothers also condemned abortion from two directions. First, they insisted it was immoral to kill an unborn child. Susan B. Anthony, Victoria Woodhill, and virtually every other noted feminist leader of the last century described abortion as "infanticide" and "child-murder." [Mary Krane Derr, "Man's Inhumanity to Woman Makes Countless Infants Die: The Early Feminist Case Against Abortion" (Kansas City, MO: Feminists for Life, 1991).]
The radical feminists of today reject all of these
pro-life, pro-family positions.
Communism and radical feminism
Robert Bork identifies the pro-socialist leanings of the radical feminist movement: “In keeping with its progenitor, the New Left of the Sixties, feminism is fiercely anti-capitalist and pro-socialist”[3] and “… it is in keeping with feminism’s revolutionary neo-Marxism that the movement attacks bourgeois culture on many fronts.”[4]
Women who have been inside the feminist movement have themselves confirmed the Marxist ties to radical feminism. According to Tammy Bruce:
In order to attract as wide a base as possible, the sixties Leftists hid their socialist sympathies and, in some cases, actual Communist Party membership. Betty Friedan is a classic case. In the book that launched the modern feminist movement—The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963—she portrayed herself as a politically inactive housewife who simply had had enough of sexism. Forty years later, Friedan told the real story. In Life So Far, published in 2000, she recounts, “I would come into New York on my days off from the hospital [and] would go to Communist Front meetings and rallies … I looked up the address of the Communist Party headquarters in New York and … went into their dark and dingy building on 13th Street and announced I wanted to become a member.” This was in 1942, a quarter-century before she and a few others founded NOW. Friedan’s revelation that, while she may have been a bored and frustrated housewife, she had also been a member of the Communist Party, shed some much needed light on how left-wing politics have been masquerading as authentic feminism.[5]
Tammy Bruce claims that “Betty Friedan, a former Communist Party member, was only the precursor of the hijacking of feminism to serve other political interests.”[6] She also notes that Gloria Steinem has served “as an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, which boasts of being the largest socialist organization in the United States and is the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.”[7] Furthermore, Patricia “Ireland details her support of the Communist Party in her autobiography, What Women Want, she admits her socialist sympathies and participation in pro-Communist rallies in Miami….”[8] Tammy Bruce also emphasizes that “today’s feminist leaders are more concerned with pursuing a socialist agenda than with helping women achieve equality.”[9]
Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge affirm that today’s radical feminism is:
Not merely about equal rights for women … Feminism aspires to be much more than this. It bids to be a totalizing scheme resting on a grand theory, one that is as all-inclusive as Marxism, as assured of its ability to unmask hidden meanings as Freudian psychology, and as fervent in its condemnation of apostates as evangelical fundamentalism. Feminist theory provides a doctrine of original sin: The world’s evil’s originate in male supremacy. (Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge, Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women’s Studies, p. 183)
"Do you not recognize, My children, the signs of your times? Read and learn: 'Women will become unlike women. They shall go forth, and seven women will take hold of one man and say to him: Make me as you are. I wish to eat your bread.' [see Isaias 4:1]
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times, women shall seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Woman will cast it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 18, 1975
Our Lady of the Roses Bayside messages
These messages came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
LIBERATION?
"Paganism
will not be tolerated by the Father, neither in your lay life nor in the House
of My Son. It is an abomination for women to speak in the House of God! I hear a
word—defilement
of man, liberation? My child, what is this liberation women ask for? Satan has
created the plan for their destruction. Take your Bible, take the Book of life
and study it and learn!" - Our Lady,
July 15, 1974
REBELLING AGAINST
HER DESTINY
"My
child, make it known to the world that woman must return to her place as woman,
for she has been misled. Was it not woman who fell to satan in the beginning?
"Her disobedience to the will of God brings much sorrow upon her and her
children. It would be better now, My children, if woman would be silent, for she
does not know the road she is traveling. It is only satan who has set her to
rebel against her destiny." - Our Lady,
March 24, 1974
MAN THE
BREADWINNER
"Where is
the place of the man and father? Where has he gone from the homes? Why has woman
sought to take his place? Satan has created this delusion. The place of woman is
in the home and the rearment of the child. The man will be the breadwinner and
safeguard his home." - St. Joachim,
July 25, 1973
EXCHANGED ROLES
"As Saint
Paul wrote to the Romans, that when man has given up God and replaced Him by the
creatures, he would be abandoned, allowed to go onto his path of sin.
"Since women have exchanged their roles as women, preferring to be as men,
and have abandoned their true, true value of life—have
abandoned their role as a mother to carry the creation of their God within their
wombs, they, therefore, will also find that their husbands and sons will find
rejection of women, and men will seek lustfully pleasures with men, known, My
child, as homosexuality. And they will be given and abandoned to their lust,
until all creatures upon earth would live in fear. Women then will find
themselves turning lustful eyes to women-lesbianism, My child." - Our Lady,
September 28, 1974
STAND FORTH AS
EXAMPLES
"They
will do as they have done in the past in honor of the Father; and in the path of
the Father, they will listen to their husbands and honor their husbands within
the home. If they do thus, they will receive honor from their children. The
example in the homes is very, very poor.
"So husbands, now, you will act with love to your wives, but you will keep
them in discipline. Many of them have lost their way. Discipline. And wives,
honor your husbands and do your role as mothers in honor to your God. We see the
example of the homes is very poor....
"Womanhood must be returned to the state in which the Father created it.
Right at this moment a great chastisement is coming upon you, for you have cast
aside your role as women. This you will not do without receiving great
chastisement.
"There will be division in homes unless the fathers stand forth as examples
to their sons and daughters, and the mothers return to their roles as mothers in
the light of God, the Father." - Our Lady,
April 13, 1974
